Beats go on sale from time to time, but this is a particularly great price on the brand's latest over-ear headphones. Here are the highlights: They're wireless, foldable and durable, and offer up to 50 hours of battery life. If you forget to charge your things, you'll be happy to learn that 10 minutes of charging gives you up to five hours of playback when the battery is low.
"Love the sound," confirmed one shopper. "The charging speed is amazing and the battery lasts as promised. Super easy to pair with the phone. The quality is awesome!"
If you're entertaining this season, this is the ultimate cheese board. It has compartments for crackers and nuts, and a drawer that pulls out with tools for slicing. Get it while it's one of Amazon's daily Lightning Deals, over 30% off.
"I couldn't be happier with my cheese board!" said one frequent host. "As someone who absolutely loves cooking and entertaining, this bamboo serving platter has become an essential part of my kitchen. ... The bamboo material is not only eco-friendly, but also durable and elegant."
Stay toasty with this battery-operated heated jacket. Wear it on its own or under a parka for added warmth. It provides three levels of heat, and the battery lasts for up to 10 hours on low and three hours on high. It has a relaxed fit and comes in four colors.
"This has to be the best purchase I have made in a very long time," said one five-star fan. "Keeps me very warm when [it's] cold out. For super-cold weather, I put a light jacket over it and turn the heat on low, and good to go. Preheats fairly quickly and it's very warm, even without the battery on. Highly recommended."
Hate lugging a heavy vacuum up and down your stairs? You won't have to with this cordless vac — the sleek design is a major upgrade from bulky dirt-busters of yore. It transforms into a handheld for cleaning furniture and higher surfaces, and a filtration system traps allergens such as pet dander. Score this household helper for nearly 40% off.
One pet owner and Dyson fan wrote in the reviews: "I have owned a Dyson since 2012 and I love it. It has stood the test of time and still does a great job. But with two long-haired cats, I needed a cordless vacuum that could reach more spaces and where I wasn't constantly plugging/unplugging. It is very lightweight and easy to operate. The canister is easy to dump too. ... Nice suction — picks up small debris and cat hair without fail!"
Brighten and depuff your tired eyes fast with these gold eye patches. They're reportedly a favorite of Jessica Alba! Simply place a pair under your eyes, wait 15-20 minutes and voila! Look like you actually got a full night of sleep for once.
"I have always had issues with dark circles under my eyes and my eyes getting puffy overnight. I slap these babies on for 15 minutes in the morning while diapering and dressing kids, rub in the extra moisture when I take them off, and there is a visible difference," said one Amazon reviewer. "I go from under-the-bridge troll to troll who isn't quite embarrassed to leave the house without makeup on. Super easy to use, they're cool and feel nice first thing in the morning ... Definitely recommend."
The Echo Show 5 is basically a cross between Amazon Alexa and a tablet, and it's on sale for its lowest price this year. It's compact, with a 5.5-inch screen, and it can manage your calendar; make to-do lists; get weather and traffic updates; show you recipes; stream movies, shows and music; call friends or family with other Echo and Alexa devices; and more. A lot of shoppers connect it to their Ring doorbells so they can see and chat with visitors.
"I love this Amazon Echo!" shared a fan. "It was easy to set up and I have had no issues with it. I've had it now for about one year. It's amazing to have a hands-free alarm clock. It plays my music when I'm getting ready. It will play shows, news, weather and more! The light does dim at night when lights are out. I'm a light sleeper and a bright light would not be good for me."
Snail mucin is a mucus-like protein that contains multiple compounds — including collagen, elastin and glycolic acid — that experts have long considered beneficial for human skin. This serum contains snail mucin and has over 55,000 five-star reviews, many from buyers who rave about how hydrated and bright their skin feels after use.
Our own beauty editor was skeptical, but tried it: "I saw a noticeable improvement in my skin's texture within the first day and even more so after two weeks. My skin was more supple, my fine lines appeared less deep and my face appeared generally more even and had a sort of glow."
If you really want to treat yourself to healthier-looking hair, this super lightweight gadget dries hair freaky fast and leaves it silky smooth. It rarely goes on sale.
"My hair stylist recommended this hair dryer — it's the same she uses in her salon," said one shopper. "I noticed that when she styled my hair, it was always smoother and softer. I started using the same shampoo and conditioner she used but didn't get the same results. Now, when I blow-dry my hair with this device, I'm getting the same great results as when she styles my hair."
If you're preparing a feast for a crowd (ahem, like this Thanksgiving), this warming mat can help keep everything from getting cold before you're ready to serve it. It has six temperature levels, from 122℉ to 212℉, and it heats up in seconds for up to six hours. It's 23 inches by 14 inches, so keep that in mind — it's best for smaller side dishes or single main courses.
"I recently purchased this electric warming mat, and I must say, it has completely revolutionized the way we serve food at gatherings," said one host. "The mat heats up almost instantaneously, taking no more than 10 seconds to warm the entire surface. This means no more waiting around for the device to heat up, which is incredibly convenient when you have guests."
Hosting Thanksgiving can be fun, but the feeling of a hard kitchen floor while standing for hours on end prepping the turkey and side dishes — not so much. But Amazon shoppers have found a problem-solver in this top-selling kitchen mat. It transforms your kitchen floor into a marshmallowy surface that can relieve pressure and pain in your feet, muscles and joints — and it's on sale for just $14 in a range of colors.
One of over 11,000 five-star fans called the mat "better than insoles," adding: "I do a lot of meal prepping for the week on Sundays, so I am on my feet in the kitchen for eight to 10 hours a day ... I used to wear my gym shoes with cushioned support when I was cooking for long periods, but even then the resulting back pain was on another level. These mats are a complete game-changer. ... I could stand on these mats for hours and still be comfortable."
Knee-high boots are trending this season, and this faux leather pair has a Western-inspired style you can dress up or down. They're from Amazon's own brand, The Drop, and reviewers say they're great quality.
"I wore these boots and received so many compliments!" said one happy shopper. "They were so comfortable too. Definitely one of my favorite purchases from Amazon! They are a must-have for sure."
